- Title: Hit-Monkey – The Estate
- IMDb: link
While sadly not furthering the Akiko (Olivia Munn) storyline, “The Estate” involves the Collective dealing with the last living member of the Aldermen and retrieving the final artifact which has an effect on animals temporarily pushing Monkey against his new killer friends. After a purposefully off-putting setup, there’s plenty of action with the most notable piece of the episode being Haruka‘s (Ally Maki) observation about one of the members of the Collective leading to some troubling conclusions which will lead to friend vs. friend in the next episode.
The potentially twist of the motivations of the Collective (a group of ruthless killers) not exactly being completely aboveboard isn’t the biggest shock, but with Monkey having drunk the Kool-Aid, as Bryce (Jason Sudeikis) puts it, that’s going to lead into some difficult (and perhaps bloody) conversations. The episode also spends an unexpected amount of time with Iris (Cristin Milioti) and her new work buddies.
